I have no idea what type of job you have or if you even like it, but in our line of work we not only love our jobs but we are blessed over and over. However, we received the biggest blessing ever this year when the new church plants that we had started about 6 months ago all got together and started talking about a name for their churches. The first gift for us was that they consider themselves a church and not just a Bible study or cell group, secondly that all the 3 areas came together to talk about their name and thirdly that they wanted a name to identify themselves in their communities. For our team this was a blessing straight from Heaven, however, God decided to give us an early Christmas gift as they told us their new name, "Community of Faith of Oaxaca". I am not sure if I was more touched by the name they came up with or with the great pride they had in telling us their new name. We asked them how they came up with it and they simply replied, "that they have seen how and what church really is with our groups and with our team and that they want just be an extension of what God is up too here." I love this gift, as I did not even have to unwrap it or have to worry about getting something for the one who gave it to me, I just got to enjoy it. Merry Christmas and well done COF for your team in Oaxaca and all over the world, keep up the good work.

For I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. Phi 4:20
